The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides that any person has the right to request access to federal agency records or information.
Like all federal agencies, the Department of Labor (DOL) is required to disclose records requested in writing by any person. However, agencies may
withhold information pursuant to nine exemptions and three exclusions contained in the statute.
FOIA applies only to federal agencies and does not create a right of access to records held by Congress, the courts, or by state or local government agencies.
In an effort to assist the public, below are "quick links" to specific FOIA-related information. The public may make FOIA
requests to OALJ’s Requester Service Center at
FOIA Disclosure Officer
Office of Administrative Law Judges
United States Department of Labor
Suite 400 North
800 K Street, NW
Washington, DC 20001-8002
Please use the link below if you are unsure of how to make a FOIA request.
We encourage the public to explore OALJ’s and DOL’s Web sites or use
our search engine to see if the information you seek is already available to the public via the Web.
